Having a daughter is a very dangerous thing

If it wasn't for someone to go to a movie recently, or if it wasn't for the half-price discount period, then I would hardly have the chance to watch "Hurricane Rescue" in the theater. Because of the seemingly good reputation, Luc Besson, Liam Neeson, all this is not enough to convince me to enter the theater.

"Hurricane Rescue" is another nonsense title. If you can't get enough inspiration, it's better to use a dutiful name like "Hijack" honestly. Even "96" is better than "Hurricane Rescue".

The appearance of Maggie Grace was a surprise. I was surprised that so many film critics ignored her presence, and of course partly blamed myself for not reading the cast list carefully beforehand. However, the screenwriter did not try to earnestly explore the relationship between father and daughter, and Maggie Grace did not get much room for play. As a French movie, it's a bit of a shame. The action design and editing in the film are quite crisp and neat, and there is basically no flashy water, which makes people hooked. In terms of the foreshadowing and advancement of the plot, it appears that the motivation is insufficient. What if the two gangsters sitting in the car did not get involved in the "goods" from talking about football and stomach to NBA and constipation? What if Maggie Grace didn't give up her coat to the girl who was also looted? What if the girl can't remember the red gate of Paradise Street after being awakened by the drip? The movie is not impossible to have coincidences, but with so many coincidences, it is inevitable that Liam Neeson's luck by accidentally hitting the shit is more than the meticulousness of the agent.

When the singer gave Liam Neeson his business card and he didn't have time to hand it to his daughter, I had already decided that Maggie Grace would be taken out after rescuing it at the end, and Maggie Grace would naturally tear it off. My complacency has failed. Now that you have ridiculed, why not ridicule to the end?

There are also many flaws in the plot: the gang actually made the click of putting down the handset when hanging up the phone after taking Maggie Grace; the guy who "I have a desk now" was clearly involved in the case and was still being investigated by Liam Neeson. Pointing directions; Liam Neeson broke into the lair of the gang’s Paradise Street without knowing French (or speaking) in English to impersonate a corrupt French police officer; killed so many people in just 96 hours and even ended up After a certain "His Royal Highness" fell down, he walked back to Las Vegas without any worries...

My favorite part of the film was Liam Neeson who told Maggie Grace to hide under the bed on the phone. "You will definitely be caught", listening to the screams of her daughter being dragged out and the heartbreaking description of the characteristics of the gang, Liam Neeson's face was clearly mixed with the pain of being a father and the calmness of being an agent. These two expressions.

In such a sinful and dangerous world, as an ordinary father with a daughter, he may not be able to avoid some kind of incompetent weakness and struggle, especially when she clamors to be a singer and go to Paris alone. I'm probably a little bit overshadowed, although it is a bit unreasonable and worrying.

    It was a surprise to find out the first part and watch it. I must have been blinded by the translated name. The rhythm is tighter than the second part.

    "I believe in you, but I can't let you go." It can be watched as a popular safety education film for little girls. It's fast-paced, clean, and the editing is smooth and not sloppy, just like what an action movie should be like. ★★★★

Taken quotes

  • Bryan Mills: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

    Marko: [after a long pause] Good luck.

  • Bryan Mills: Now's not the time for dick measuring, Stuart!
